Popular Resistance Committees

The Popular Resistance Committees is a splintergroup of Fatah that was founded in 2000 by Jamal Abu Samhadana. The group was based out of the Gaza Strip, from which its al-Nasser Salah al-Deen Brigades carried out terrorist attacks against Israel. The group left Fatah due to its opposition to peace with Israel, and the PRC was the third-most-powerful terrorist group in the Gaza Strip after Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
